2. allowed to participate in other co-curricular activities as long as he/she maintains the required academic standing and the activity does not interfere with his/her commitment to the team sport.

3. required to wear suitable clothing and equipment to all practice sessions. In those sports where practice clothing and equipment are issued by the coach, wearing such clothing and equipment is required.

4. expected to conform to all Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) rules. The coach will apprise the student-athlete of these rules. If the school is fined by the LHSAA because of a student's conduct, the

5. required to maintain the academic requirements of the LHSAA (1.5 GPA at the end of the first semester and at the end of the school year).

7. expected to refrain from the use of non-prescribed medications at all times. The use of alcohol or any other drugs and tobacco products is prohibited. An athlete will be suspended or removed from the sport for violation of this regulation. Refer to the Substance Abuse Policy for specifics.

8. expected to be a mature responsible Christian member of the school community.

9. required to attend regular season practices and games scheduled by the coach. The student-athlete is also expected to attend the required number of pre-season conditioning periods designated by the coach.
